Nice swing, is your miss a hook?

More of a push-blocky-slicerony.

You do some good things. You have what is called a reverse hip slide meaning that in the backswing the hips are moving forward, this is very much what Hogan did and what youtube teacher Shawn Clement recommends. The only issue with this is it sends the plane line to the right unless you have a really great pivot with the shoulders also working correctly. So if you have a plane line to the right and a relatively square face to that plane its going to start to the right and if if it gets open then its a slice.
Do you have a down the line because I did some guessing there without it?

I wanted to send one, but deleted it from my hard drive so it will take a few days until I can go out again and film one. I think your analysis is correct. I am on a 7° inside path. When playing, I aim a la Trevino and hit a push towards the fairway.

Wow. That really is a reverse hip slide/ counterfall/ hoganesque move... And you generate some nice lag post P4...
Match up ur pivot and you're sitting pretty, IMHO.
Just curious, what are your iron specs?

I'd like to see a DTL.
I think your grip is way too weak. One of the reasons why your arms crossover into the release.

I currently do not own any clubs, this was a standard callaway Big Bertha 6 iron, regular shaft and lie and length standard I think. I am about to look for a set, but here in Europe it is a bit tougher to find legal grooves on the clubs that I want and I am still undecided. About the weak grip, my goal for the past few months( have not played or hit balls outdoors since September) was getting everything moving as far right of the target as I dare and then get #3 to supinate as fast as I can, decelerating/stopping my left arms as fast as I can. Hence the cross over.
I am currently concerned about being a few degrees too much inside, 7 at present, trying to get it down to 3-max 4.
Although it is not beneath me to aim left and get it on the fairway/green by any means, I prefer to get the sharp edges of it.

Personally, I worry about the clubface first and then worry about the path.
Let's say you're at 7* inside-to-out.
If your clubface is all over the place, you can just about hit every miss possible, from snap hooks, to push draws to straight push to over-hooks, to dead block slice, etc.
If you can get the face more close to square or slightly open time after time. Now you'll be hitting more push-draws and some over-draws.
Tough to control the face like that with your overtaking rates and closure rates being so high.
So I would work on the face first, then cut down the path.
